I'm setting up a new core and finding I have some bugs to work out. The biggest one relates to either a bad NIC card or a IRQ conflict between it and my PVR-500. I say this because I can't get a quality link on the internal network. Sometimes it's there, sometimes it's not. Often it drops as soon as the PVR-500 starts recording. I tried swapping the cards around to different PCI slots and getting the IRQ to not overlap which helped, but the internal network was still on and off. I have tried replacing the card but LMCE doesn't detect the hardware change and reconfigure the network accordingly.
Is there a way for me to trigger this?I did STF for this but the only somewhat relevant post was here
http://forum.linuxmce.org/index.php?topic=1327.0 and it really didn't help anyway.
For info her's the LSPCI ouput:

Setting NIS, with domain 'pluto'
At this point, we have to construct a list of the hosts which will run NIS
servers. dcerouter is in the list of NIS server hosts. Please continue to add
the names for the other hosts, one per line. When you are done with the
list, type a <control D>.
next host to add: dcerouter
next host to add: next host to add:
The current list of NIS servers looks like this:
dcerouter
Is this correct? [y/n: y] We need a few minutes to build the databases...

dcerouter has been set up as a NIS master server.
Now you can run ypinit -s dcerouter on all slave server.
